Personally, I enjoy single anime AMVs quite a bit as it maintains focus instead of hopping around too much.

But why so much multi-anime AMVs? Well... I think it's probably easier to find pretty clips from a range of sources. And people these days place such high priority on the pretty looking clips. Should they? Well... that's up to the goal of the editor. But to me, it makes sense, as most editors are young, and don't wish to make any more connections between the anime and music aside from pretty sound + pretty visual.

So... my answer is based Pretty. Yup. Is there anything wrong with that? Not really, but I think it helps explain the trend.

I like using a single source because it allows me to focus on a small set of characters and develop them more.

Hey JH The name change was long overdue. (For those that didn't see my post in the name change thread, I was that Phantasmagoriat guy...) I don't really make AMVs anymore; so now I'm focusing more on promoting mah blog: http://AMVGuide.blogspot.ca/

It's the same tactic used by a lot of big companies to promote a name. Like my local hockey arena is currently "Rexall Place" after the drug company. I figure I can do the same thing with my username, and help direct people to useful stuff in my signature

I like tanks but, unless you are doing .. like .. a recap video of a series to remind people of all that happened, same series animes are boring! I can honestly say that single or multi-series AMV's are an art-form. ¿Which are better? .. its personel preference.. What we hate are mixxed amv's: Simpsons + W.I.T.C.H. + Pocket Monsters; too complicated.
